<p>3 kids from my school got accepted. is that rare?</p>
<p>13 kids from my son's class of 120 were accepted 2 years ago. (Yes, 10% of the class.) MIT has no quotas on number accepted from any given school. I would say it's not <em>common</em> for most schools to have multiple acceptances, but it's not all that rare either.</p>
<p>so far at least 16 from my school have gotten in this year (early and regular).might hear about more people as the week goes on though.</p>
<p>The number was 16 the year before and 13 the year before that.</p>
<p>But to answer your question, it is relatively rare - someone put the data into a spreadsheet off the admitted students guestbook for EA and there were only a handful of schools with 3 or more admitted</p>
<p>And the vast majority of schools in the country have 0 admitted, of course.</p>
<p>In my year, five from my graduating class were admitted.</p>
<p>Though, my graduating class had 1000 people in it.</p>
